I was wondering, as someone that works on one of the NHRA safety trucks quite often national and divisional level. What do you all think is the most prevalent safety issue today. Now I have my ideas and concerns that I am trying to work on in my division, but I want a little feedback to make things better for the racers. After all they are who I really work for, and they are the reason I am out there in a SFI20 firesuit in 100+ degree weather.
I know that the first thing that will be brought up is the wall issue, but lets dig deeper and consider other things. Is there things that we can work on right now that might make that wall issue a little smaller. What can we do right now? If installation of softwalls were to be accepted, it would still take a while for that to happen, but there are things we can do right now.
Last thing, my normal job is working in an Emergency room in Upland, California. I have seen some pretty bad head injuries in my EMS career, and I have seen what can happen to those that do survive, there is still room for a lot of growth in this research field. I know there are a lot of other things out there that need medical research dollars too, but here is a link to the Brain Injury Association of America's donation page... Donations. They distribute their donations to various research foundations working on improving medical care and rehabilitation of people suffering from major closed brain injuries.
Thanks for reading, and thank you in advance for taking time and putting in your 2 cents, this will help me make things safer for you.
